Abstract

Abstract Results of research and clinical investigation in speech and language development have identified the linguistic process as a primary determinant of human behavior. Disturbances in this process may lead to learning and academic failures, and may be either the cause or the result of various forms of behavioral disorders. Children with developmental speech and language disorders therefore present a complex set of problems. A thorough differential diagnostic evaluation requires the evaluation of pertinent physiological, environmental and emotional considerations, as well as measures of linguistic competence and performance. The recognition that a speech disturbance may affect a broad spectrum of behavior should lead to more effective programs of treatment and intervention.
